Good luck every time
Chapter 416: The Calmness of Being Loved
The killer on the opposite side is not incompetent.
The moment Li Shiba was distracted, someone attacked him.
Li Shiba didn't care at all. He blocked one knife, but the other knife left a wound on his arm.
Only then did he come to his senses and swung his sword to block, while backing away.
He was a little silly and a little stubborn, and the wound didn't seem to affect his actions at all.
He had only one goal from beginning to end, which was to protect Li Jixiang.
He struggled hard to break free from the four people and tried his best to get closer to Li Jixiang.
On the other side, Li Jixiang was just trying his best to hold on.
She was not an expert fighter and did not have much experience in fighting enemies. Only when her consciousness briefly escaped from the control of her body could she calm down.
However, she was soon injured.
The assassination was more brutal than she had imagined, and it seemed that the two of them could not hold out for even a quarter of an hour.
However, all her emotions disappeared, leaving her with no time to feel fear.
The killer who assassinated her never missed any opportunity to strike, but was even more reckless than her.
Li Jixiang slashed at the two men several times, and the other party also slashed at her several times, and she barely avoided the vital points.
Her strong survival instinct made her ignore the pain in her body.
She used her knife to block the attacks of the two men, but the other side cooperated more tacitly. One of them drew his knife and chopped at the air, while the other kicked Li Jixiang in the stomach, sending her under the other side's knife.
Li Jixiang didn't have time to describe what she was doing. She subconsciously wanted to roll over to avoid the attack, but the person who kicked her had already chased after her, blocking her escape route.
The hair on her back stood up and the threat of death was imminent.
For a moment, Li Jixiang didn't know whether he should close his eyes and wait for death or try his best to make a final struggle.
Just as she was panicking, a big hand grabbed her, just like before.
But this time, he didn't leave her behind.
Li Shiba swung his knife to block the second man's knife and kicked the first man away.
He pushed Li Jixiang and ran towards the alley.
This place is very close to the downtown area, and if the people from the Jiuchuan Gang hear any noise they will definitely come over.
"Run out!"
Li Shiba couldn't say anything nice and could only state the facts.
In this short moment, several knives fell on Li Shiba's back at the same time.
Li Shiba could have dodged, but if he had, Li Jixiang would have less time to escape.
He gritted his teeth, turned around to block two or three knives, and rushed towards the men.
Bright red blood oozed out and Li Jixiang screamed.
"Eighteenth Brother!"
Those killers moved very quickly. Although Li Shiba tried hard to avoid the vital points, the second knife attack from these people followed closely.
They have tacit understanding and experience, and they don't draw their swords together, which makes the people they besiege are always under the siege of weapons.
Li Jixiang clenched her fists, and the knuckles of her hands holding the knife turned white. She was no longer the Li Jixiang of the original Sanjia Village!
She knew her importance and knew that this glimmer of hope might have been gained by Li Shiba's life!
She couldn't delay and turned and ran.
But she shouted at the killers as she ran.
"I am your target!"
The killers' principle was that it was better to cut off one finger than to injure ten fingers. They didn't think Li Jixiang could escape, so they tried their best to surround and kill Li Shiba.
But now seeing the target about to run away, several of them became distracted.
Li Jixiang clenched his fists and ran with all his strength.
Her reason was magnified as she ran, and she knew that ordinary people on the street could not help her.
She has to find the people from Jiuchuan Gang!
He has to be a master of the Jiuchuan Gang...
She was a little confused and didn't know where to find such a person.
The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and the sound of swords clashing did not stop. Li Shiba was not dead yet, but he didn't know how long he could hold out...
Just when Li Jixiang was feeling somewhat desperate, a familiar figure suddenly rushed into her sight.
When the man saw her covered in blood, he ran even faster.
With the killer chasing her from behind, Li Jixiang had no time to talk to Wang Jiu. She barely blocked the opponent's attack.
The next moment, Wang Jiu pulled her away and chopped the man in front of him to the ground with a knife.
The reason why Wang Jiu can become the boss of Jiuchuan Gang is definitely not just because he has some brains.
His arrival was like a ray of light that tore through the darkness, instantly turning the situation around.
However, Li Jixiang didn’t have time to look at him. She immediately raised her knife and fought against the killers together with Wang Jiu.
Her heart trembled as she stabbed a killer in the back.
But she knew she couldn't delay.
The instantly tensed muscles would jam her knife, and if she couldn't pull it out immediately, she might not be able to pull out the knife with her strength.
When Li Jixiang drew the knife, the killer's warm blood spurted out and landed on her body and hands.
The warm feeling did not leave any impression on her.
She turned and ran into the alley.
Although the distance was only ten feet, Li Jixiang felt like he had experienced most of his life.
She was very afraid to see Li Shiba's body falling to the ground, or his exhausted appearance.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
Li Shiba's martial arts skills were originally superior to hers, so although he could barely cope with the three killers, he was still able to hold on.
When Li Shiba saw Li Jixiang coming back, he was not angry or anything. His dullness prevented him from reacting to the situation immediately.
He just instinctively protected Li Jixiang.
He blocked the attack on the side and Li Jixiang had better space to attack.
The situation of two people against three people soon turned around.
Wang Jiu dealt with the last killer who followed.
Li Jixiang and Li Shiba both checked each other's injuries as soon as possible.
Li Shiba stood there and looked at Li Jixiang.
After Li Jixiang experienced the initial ecstasy of surviving, he suddenly burst into tears.
She pulled Li Shiba and saw two knife wounds on his back that were so deep that the bone could be seen. Then she turned around and saw his rag-like clothes that were almost stained with blood.
Despair and fear instantly overwhelmed me.
She was shaking so badly that she couldn't control herself.
Li Shiba seemed to feel no pain. He stood there with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Wang Jiu walked over and wanted to comfort Li Jixiang.
Unfortunately, the two parties are not familiar with each other.
"Eighteenth brother...does it hurt?...Don't protect me next time...I..."
Li Jixiang didn't know what to say. Her relatives almost died in front of her.
She covered her face and cried bitterly, crying for the despair of that moment just now.
Li Shiba doesn't have such a strong ability of empathy, but he has his own stubborn persistence.
"I'm your brother and you're my sister, it's my duty to protect you!"
When Li Jixiang heard this, he was stunned for a moment and looked up at Li Shiba.
The other person's face was covered in dirt, with dust left behind when he dodged, bruises from being beaten, and bloodstains that were half-dried.
But Li Shiba has a pair of clear eyes.
Li Jixiang saw another world through those eyes.
At this moment, the other person seemed to overlap with Li Ruyi's image.
All the memories of Li Ruyi that had accumulated in Li Jixiang's heart over time turned into the nourishment for her to break free from the shackles.
People always have several images of elders in their hearts during their lifetime.
These elders are like guiding lights that illuminate the dark unknown ahead.
For Li Jixiang, Granny Ding is a very good elder, as well as the old lady of the Li family and the head of the village who will help her...
It’s just that these images are too flat.
Li Jixiang knew clearly that these people were not so innocent towards her.
Their kindness to her was out of instinctive goodwill and a choice made after weighing the pros and cons.
It’s just that Li Ruyi is Li Jixiang’s sister.
The teaching that Li Jixiang received since she was born was that as an older sister, she had to take responsibility for everything in the family.
Her abilities may be insufficient, but her energy has never been lacking in the slightest.
She would never be able to put Li Ruyi into the image of an elder.
Until this moment.
The image of the elder that existed because of Li Ruyi but could never be condensed was enriched because of Li Shiba.
There are always some preferences in this world that make no sense.
To love and to be loved are both instinctive desires of human beings.
Li Jixiang has the ability to love!
But she never had the calmness to be loved!
